Section 2:
Type: The user can set up recording schedule for “Daily”, “Weekly” or “Special duration”.
Start time & End time: Set up time frame for recording schedule. Here’s a classic sample
recording schedule: “motion triggered recording” from 00:00 to 07:59; “continuous recording”
from 08:00 to 16:59; “motion triggered recording” from 17:00 to 23:59.
You should always set your complete schedule start at 00:00 and end at 23:59. Never overlap
the time entries, such as from 00:00 to 12:00 and from 12:00 to 23:59. It should start from
00:00 to 11:59 and 12:00 to 23:59.
Start date & End date: Select dates for recording in “Special duration”.
Section 3:
Frame Rate: You can set up the recording frame rate for each individual schedule entry.
If you set the recording frame rate higher than what your NVR can physically record, the
recording frame rate will be the maximum your NVR can record.
No Motion Recording: This option is only available under the “motion triggered recording”
mode. When it checked, you can record the videos even if no motion is triggered in case any
incidents. It is advised to set a much lower recording frame rate here to save disk space.
Save pending live videos when motion is triggered: When motion is triggered, the pending
video stream will automatically be saved as a file and subsequently the motion triggered video
stream will be saved into a separate file. This segregation makes your motion triggered playback
videos easier, but you may somewhat inadvertently truncate the beginning of the motion
triggered videos, mostly when you do not enable the pre-recording function or when you set the
motion sensing sensitivity too low. The pre-recording function and motion sensing settings will
be discussed later on in this chapter.
Section 4:
Schedule entries list: This is a list of the set recording schedule entries. To edit one of the listed
entries, simply double click the entries appearing in the list. Once the editing is done, you may
click “Save” button to save your changes or the “Exit” button to discard your changes. To delete
entries, simply highlight the scheduled entry and click “Delete” button.

Section 5:
The Witness Pro NVR system provides intelligent video detection functions and the description
as below:
Motion setup:
The user will be fine-tuning
how the NVR starts
recording if people or
objects are moving in the
angle of view. To access this
section, simply click
“Motion setup” from
“Select detection” drop bar.
There are “Software
detection” and optional
“Hardware detection”. For hardware motion detection, the user will need to purchase a PCI
I/O board or use the I/O ports f IP camera to connect its existing burglar alarm motion detectors.
The motion setup can only take effect if the user selected “motion triggered recording” from
the recording schedules. (See “Schedule Setup” from “Recording”). The user can verify if you
have properly activated the recording schedule for certain cameras from its number button on the
“Video control panel”. The camera number shall appear as light blue (scheduled to record) or
red (currently recording).
Software Detection – You can select and frame multiple areas in the view of the camera for
software detection. This function will help you save disk space, but it will also produce multiple
false alarms. Consider hardware detection for better performance.
Sensitivity Level –You can adjust the sensitivity of the software motion detection. Simply move
the slider bar to right side for increasing sensitivity level or to the left side for decreasing it.
When you choose a level of motion sensitivity, you shall take into consideration unavoidable
movements. For example, if you have a blowing fan nearby, it may produce some sort of
motions in the video. Adjusting the sensitivity properly will filter out this issue.
41
Areas Setup – Select or frame the specific areas from the view of the camera for motion
detection.
To add a new area of detection, please follow the steps shown as below:
Step 11. Flame and drag on the video image to select the desired detection area by your mouse.
Step 12. Click button to add the new selection.
Step 13. To set up others detection areas, repeat step 1 and 2.
Step 14. Choice the sensitivity level for the detection.
To delete a pre-set detection area, follow the steps shown as below:

Step 16. Click “Delete area” button. This area will be disappeared from view.
Step 17. To delete other detection areas, repeat step 1 and 2.
If you don’t define specific detection areas, the entire view of the video will be the detection area.
Hardware detection (Optional) – You can use hardware detection for more accurate motion
sensing. For example, light changes do not trigger false alarms, but it does with software detection.
You can select a motion-sensing device from “Triggered by” drop-down menu. Once you connect
the sense devices at the “Sensor in” ports of the optional “inputs board” (NVR add-on) or IP
camera, a motion sensor will be triggered due to detected movement in its track and the assigned
camera will automatically create an alarm and start to record.
Illegal parking setup: (Optional)
